is having an affair? My mother suspects it, but rather not confront him, but she is always angry deep down inside. He of course does not know why she reacts explosively at the littlest things, therefore, their relationship is growing more distant every day.
Would it be appropriate for me as their child to talk to him, and confront him? My mother is always talking to us (her children) about this, but not proactively doing anything except getting upset and venting in front of us, but avoiding the topic with him whenever she is alone with him.
My father is the LAST person you would suspect ever to have an affair. We are a very tight knit family. He is a very responsible man to his family, at least to his children, we feel he was.
Like to hear what others will advise.
My father is heading to around 60 years old soon.

It's a good idea to confront him and see what's going on and try to save ur parents from separation.

I'd talk to him. I think most people - if they knew that their child knew - would have a momentary shock and it would cause them to gain some perspective. In a non judgmental, not confrontational way - let him explain in his own words what is going on. And you shouldn't be on one side over the other - you should be on the side that wants them together - so pitting yourself against your father isn't going to help.

This is between your mother and father. When your mother begins to vent, tell her to talk to him about it then change the subject or walk away. Interferring in your parents' relationship will screw your relationship with the two of them.

Your mother should ask your father straight if he's having an affair, not you.
